U.S. Department of Energy - Grid Modernization Initiative’s Post

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and DOE national laboratories are excited to convene the fourth meeting of the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and workshop for the Securing Solar for the Grid (S2G) program. The #S2G program will bring together diverse thought industry leaders and project leaders from four national laboratories, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Idaho National Laboratory to share the work done during Fiscal Year 2022-2024.   The workshop will create an opportunity for industry to provide feedback to inform research efforts.

The Grid Modernization Initiative represented at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Energy Storage Grand Challenge Summit last week! Jeff Dagle spoke on a panel about the history of GMI and its path forward into the future. An audience of over 170 experts in grid-related fields gathered to explore pathways to grid-scale energy storage that can meet the needs of our nation now and in the future.  

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Modernization Initiative has announced its strategy for investing in innovative new technologies to modernize today’s power grid while ensuring it remains secure and sustainable. Drawing from the Administration’s goals and power system objectives, the GMI’s updated strategy defines six pillars to guide its work: 1) Devices and Integrated Systems; 2) Operations 3) Planning; 4) Markets, Policies, and Regulations; 5) Resilient and Secure Systems; and 6) Flexible Generation and Load. The future modernized grid will need to balance a variety of key priorities that are not all perfectly aligned with each other. This document establishes a clear and actionable grid modernization strategy for DOE and the national labs to align these priorities in a secure and efficient manner.     Learn more and read the strategy here: https://lnkd.in/g3SpwXHv

In 2019, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invested $4.5 million to develop a first-of-its-kind software tool to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in firmware and defend the electric grid from cyberattacks and bad actors. Today, the award-winning DisCo software can be downloaded online at no-cost and allows utilities and equipment manufacturers to automatically detect changes in firmware and find unwanted threats! 🤖 Learn more about the software and its usability among many different industries: https://lnkd.in/e9iAZQPS
